The Festival will take place in the 4 star Wordsworth Hotel in the centre of Grasmere, just a short walk from Dove Cottage and the Wordsworth Museum and Art Gallery. It is worth noting that the hotel restaurant has been awarded two AA 'rosettes' for quality.
Poets of all levels and experience are welcome, from complete beginners to published writers. Each session the group will look at a different aspect of poetry, from sonnets to effective use of imagery. We will explore particular poems, sharing thoughts and ideas, and get started on poems of our own using exercises and activities designed to build confidence and inspire creativity.
Participants can choose to attend:
individual events;
a morning, evening or afternoon session, including tea & coffee and a meal in the restaurant:
for the full weekend, with accommodation and meals included
